Robin van Persie faces uncertain future at Manchester United

Robin van Persie has admitted he faces an uncertain future at Manchester United after a difficult season.

Van
Persie struggled with injuries during the season and managed just ten
goals as United finished fourth to qualify for the Champions League.

The
Dutchman still has a year to run on his contract at Old Trafford but he
could be forced to look elsewhere if he wants to play first-team
football.

Indeed, with the European Championships on the horizon, the 31-year-old has admitted he must ‘evaluate the situation’.

“I must evaluate the situation. The club is doing that as well. I must consider what I really want,” he said. “If
worse comes to the worst and I won’t be playing much next season I
wouldn’t be in an ideal situation with Euro 2016 coming up. “It’s
a strange, difficult situation. A new situation, that’s a better word. I
have to think in a realistic way. It’s my ambition to play the next
years.”

Van
Persie’s future has been the subject of much speculation in recent
months, but the striker insists he has paid little attention to the
rumours.

“If
I am to believe the stories, around 35 new strikers will be coming in
and 40 will be leaving but I have no news regarding my future,” he
added.
